		A late legend makes them twin brother doctors who asked for no fees and worked many cures of healing, and so they are shown in art, notably in a cycle by Fra Angelico.
		In Italy their popularity was increased by the famous Medici dynasty of Florence, many of whom bore the name Cosmas [Cosimo].
		Apparently it was the saints’ lack of concern with financial matters which appealed to the Medici, an ironical state of affairs in view of the opulent lifestyle of many of that ilk; a case of “I’m a humble man and I ain’t half proud to be so”.

	Today's Saint
		The martyrs Cosmas and Damian were executed in the city of Cyrrhus in Syria about 303, during the persecution decreed by the Roman Emperor Diocletian.
		As Christian doctors, according to the legend, they charged no fees of those they healed or cared for; they were thus called "the holy moneyless ones," and along with St. Luke (the "beloved physician" mentioned by St. Paul in Col 4:14), Cosmas and Damian are considered the patron saints of doctors.
		Within a century of the deaths of Cosmas and Damian, their fame had spread more widely than that of most martyrs, and perhaps as early as the sixth century their names were added to the Roman Canon (the source of our current Eucharistic Prayer [no. 1] used at Mass).
